The gruesome close-up showed that Emmett had suffered a nasty compound fracture to the ring finger on his left hand with the bone poking through the wound.

UFC president Dana White congratulated Emmett in a caption that accompanied am Instagram video giving fans a closer look at the shocking injury.

"WARNING GRAPHIC Josh Emmett is from Team Alpha Male.@UrijahFaber has been all over me about this kid and he took the fight on 4 days notice, broke his finger and still won!! Welcome to the @UFC, congrats kid!" Write wrote.
